Answer #1

Light is supposed to travel in waves, so we can explain interference , diffraction etc. Black body radiation, photoelectric effect can be explained if it has a particle character. Particle is localised in space while wave is spread out in space.

All material particles such as electron , photon have both wave as well as particle chatacter is called matter.

Chemical property of matter - how a substance interacts with another substance.

When X-rays are directed into an object , some of the photons interact with the particles of the matter & their energy can be absorbed or emitted. Other photons travel completely through the object without interacting with the particle.

Transmission of photons through a material depends on energy .
